Do not come to Iraq if you have physical difficulties. If you can't run to a bunker, then you're putting other peoples' lives in danger. If you can't manage any other medical issues, such as diabetes, etc., it's best to stay home. - Jan 2016

You can't come here if you have physical disabilities. That being said, I have seen a lot of people of extreme size. I would think they'd have some issues finding PPE that fits or being fit enough to run for the bunkers when the Duck & Cover goes off. - Sep 2010
